The clue is in the name for the site that tags itself as “cricket for grown-ups”, for that is just what Alternative Cricket is.
Promising to be the “masked vigilantes of cricket: writers, bloggers & tweeters, with no little pent-up bitterness”, Alternative Cricket is a no-holds barred view of the cricket world and has included such gems as “Cricket’s ugliest man”, “A day in the life of a Pakistan captain” and “Cricket’s Movie XI”.
It’s certainly one of the most original and amusing cricket blogs out there.
There is also a wonderfully altruistic nature too with The Alternative Cricket Almanack 2011 (buy it here), which features 29 articles by 20 different authors, packed with visceral humour and brutally honest opinion. All the proceeds go to a scholarship for underprivileged cricketers in Afghanistan.
All the more reason to check out the site and buy the book.

Hello
I've been checking out your blog for some time now, and really like the content. Hope to continue to see some quality articles from you.
I, too, am part of a cricket blog / portal which now has 7-10 writers. I wanted to establish a relationship between our blogs, and share each others links. Our blog's name is Third Man Cricket and can be found at:
www.thirdmancricket.com
Our philosophy is that we are a no-nonsense, straight-from-the-heart opinionated cricket portal, wishing to provide our readers with a third person's point of view of the game (the first being the players, the second the followers of the game). Apart from our cricketing insight, we also have some interesting articles on cricket culture and banter mixed in for good measure.
This week, we are launching a special edition "Brian Lara Week", which includes excerpts from a special, in-depth 2 hour interview with the man himself. Do stop by to check it out, and leave us your comments!

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword....wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple Wordpress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
